Gerben, Maybe this is of some use. The Lua code in the file checks the xml and returns info when something is wrong. I am using it for example in my takenotes module as: <notes file="events/na-30416155-5-48v.xml" checkxml="yes"/> And this is a sketch of how it is embedded in that module: % Prerun an xml check. \doifinset{\xmlatt{#1}{checkxml}}{yes,on,true}% {\xmlcommand{#1}{.}{xmlcommon:checkxml}} % Execute this code if no error was found. etc. dr.

I am loading an xml.file. I sometimes make mistakes editing that file and then xml.load creates a string that contains

<error>invalid xml file - parsed text</error>

At that point I check my file and sometimes (like now) I cannot find the error.

Is there a way to make xml.load somewhat more verbose about where it encounters the error?
